I have read several books by Robin Cook and have thoroughly enjoyed them but Terminal was a total disappointment. It starts out ok, but goes downhill once it gets going. The concept behind the plot was good, and had much potential for being a masterpiece but this was shoddy and unbelievable. His two main characters, Sean Murphy and Janet Reardon were unrealistic. No medical student could possibly possess the knowledge he did. Janet is from a snobby Boston family and received a degree from Welles ...more

This is a lousy book. Some Robin Cook novels are decent thrill rides with a bit of medical horror. Others are just outright bad, with paper thin characters doing incredibly stupid things for incredibly stupid reasons. This is one of the bad ones. Much just doesn't make any sense, and the main character is like a parody of a driven medical researcher. There are red herrings everywhere that are obviously red herrings because they pop up and then disappear. There is even a serial killer who is intr ...more

This was one of the hardest books that I have read; I just almost didn't even finish it. It is full of medical terms, even though I knew Robin Cook wrote mostly in the medical field. I have read a couple of his books in the past, but this one just didn't impress me.

Horrible, this was the literary version of a bad buffet. An extremely unlikeable hero, an emotionally weak heroine, and the plot was simply a bunch of prior books' plots thrown in together. A total mess

Even though the book gives little/no hint of suspense in the 'starting' , the story, as it progresses, keeps you from putting the book down. Definitely there are loads of biotechnology and Molecular biology references and one with no interest in that or cancer stuff might find it exaggerated medical jargon. I personally liked the protagonist unlike the usual ideal fellows we always expect. This being my first medical thriller...I loved it.

After having read several Robin Cook books, I found the plot to be pretty predictable. There's a conspiracy by powerful people in the medicine/science field and so some plucky, young character gets to the root of that conspiracy and his/her life is risked for it. In this case, rich people are being purposely infected with brain cancer (for which a handy treatment has already been created by the same people responsible for the infections) so that they will pay the medical center vast amounts of m ...more

I'm having better luck with Robin Cook with each book I try. I previously read 'Toxin,' and found it somewhat sloppily written, and with characters I just didn't like much.
Now, with 'Terminal,' the characters were also of the sort I didn't like. Sean Murphy is an irish genius-type working in the field of research genetics (or biotechnology, or something. It went over my head, a lot). He's brash. He's abrasive. He did coke when he was young, stole cars to send money to the IRA, and is an arrogant ...more

Okay i hardly think it's 3.5...After reading coma i found Robin Cook amazing but coming to this part i regret buying the book. The introduction to the characters takes away one fourth of the book. The character too do not seem realistic. There is nothing that could keep you glued to the book.

I've accepted that Robin Cook basically uses the same plot again and again. A curious young academic/doctor gets involved with an organization that promises to change the world for the better etc. and finds out that said organization is taking advantage of clients and performing morally despicable deeds (often in the name of science). I've accepted it and moved on. I continue to read his books because they are quick reads and more intellectually stimulating and intelligent than a lot of other su ...more

Love medical fiction by Robin Cook! If I could, I think I would go back to school to become a nurse, but SIGH in my forties I am not there, so..............I read Robin Cook!! Anyway, I read this book the week before a friend of mine was to go in for brain surgery to remove two tumors so this book was a little bit of a scary thrill for me - I didn't intend to do this but it was the way that I picked this book up off of my pile. Good read!

A slog with all of the medical terminology! Couple of things, bad sentence structure. Not sure who the editor was, he didn't do his job. I had to read some paragraphs a couple of times to understand what was being conveyed, frustrating. Other was the anticlimactic ending. In-depth and biotech story lines and then, The End.
The saving grace were the side mysteries. Lots of background on those.

It was quite hard to get into at the beginning of the book but it started to get more interesting at the end. The protagonist goes through many hardships to prove his point. He does unthinkable things to achieve his goals.

One of my all time favourites; though Coma by Robin Cook was pretty much running on the same lines (and arguably much better). I wouldn't really recommend this book to someone who isn't particularly involved in the medical field or has a keen interest in the said area. The prologue is a little rushed up but does build up an interest for the mentioned patients. It could get a little tiresome and boring when the reader reaches halfway through as the writer has very minutely described various medic ...more

As usual, too much of medical jargon. I couldn't understand how the specific tumour was created and grown inside each patient. What I liked are the thrilling elements right from the point where Sean Murphy steps into Forbes Medical Centre.

The book was great. The storyline was interesing. Not only the thriller part was superb but the part concerning the relationship between the main characters also was built well. Like in all books written by R.Cook the story is interesting the whole time but when you are getting closer and closer to the ending, the plot is getting more and more chilling. I liked this book and I can recommend it with the clear conscience , especially for the Cook fans.
Aug 29, 2010 Nancy (Apple) Schnore rated it it was amazing
I liked this book and have read other Robin Cook books. His books are medical thrillers. Cook received his postgraduate medical training at Harvard. I like the medical vocabulary too. I like to skip around to different authors, such as I have read Grisham to collect law vocab. and so on. The stories from these authors are exciting and you add to your vocab.

I really liked this book. I'm not sure if I've ever read any Robin Cook books before, but he seems like a good author. After 100 pages or so, I had a hard time putting down the book.
The book follows a rebellious Harvard grad student as he unravels the dark secrets of a Florida cancer clinic.

This is one of my favorite books by Robin Cook. In seventh grade I bet my teacher I could read Acceptable Risk, Fatal Cure, and Terminal in two weeks and they were two of the best weeks of my life.

Clean w/many park models but Nothing resort like about this park. Only amenities are the pool and laundry. Very narrow roads, rigs over 35 feet have a hard time negotiating. Unpaved pads where getting stuck is a major problem. No picnic tables, fire rings. The most unfriendly, un-cooperative management I have yet to meet in 2 years of full timing. Their fix for a complaint is to tell you to move! The positive parts...nice tenants and a good tenant organization that provides meals and entertainment on a regular basis. This park has potential with the right management and lots of improvement. - Cat Woods

Camp Lemora is a very clean RV park with large lots offering some shade in spots. Hillsborough State Park and Dead River County Park are nearby with trail access to each. A very beautifully clean, heated swimming pool is available.

Older park with RV sites and park home sites. Easy access from I-75 or I-4. We choose this park due to its close proximity to the Tampa RV Show and we were less than 15 minutes away. There was an activity going on every night we were here up in the community building. The utilities all worked well and we had plenty of over air TV stations in addition to the 4 networks. We would camp here again and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We did not use the pool (well kept and very nice) due to uncooperative weather. We would camp here again. - Tomandgloria

I was drawn to this park because of the pics that they have on their site. They make it look awesome, but I simply could not find anything that remotely looked like what they say is this park! When you first enter the park all you see is unkempt roads and sites. The clubhouse looked somewhat kept, but average at best. There did not seem to be any "rules" in the park because most of the park models and sites where unkempt. The bathrooms were not clean at all and I would not have felt comfortable using them. I would not recommend in any way, very disappointing. - Robert Kinder

Asphalt paved roads offer pretty good maneuverability, even for bigger rigs. Campsites are relatively level, and sand with some grass mixed in. Swimming pool was nice, and seemed to be kept clean, except when there was a high bathing load, then the water took on a filmy kind of look. Which may be from inconsiderate people not following the obvious signage requesting one utilize the outside shower to hose off lotions and sprays before entering the pool. It's a smaller pool that got crowded with more than 5-6 people in at one time.
Two laundry rooms with low laundry rates ($1.50 for a wash). Older machines but functional. Most sites are well shaded. Free Wi-Fi was REAAALLLLY slow, sometimes not functional. So if Internet is important to you, you might want to go elsewhere. It frequently took forever for websites to load, usually with them eventually saying server not responding. Ice and soft drinks available for purchase. Limited office hours. Security guard on duty at night will check you in if arriving late. Nice office staff very helpful. Lots of restaurants close by, both fast food and nicer ones. Winn-Dixie and a great liquor store with good prices right down the road. Only 4 miles from Busch Gardens. - SJM Georgia

Where do I start? This park is very convenient to attractions, shopping and outdoor venues. That's where it ends. The park is old, depressing looking, and spaces are very tight. A lot of permanents and seasonal people that have accumulated a lot of junk and mold. The RV storage area is neater looking than most of the park. They might as well throw away the rules, since they are not always abided by. On a daily basis three of the seasonal guests near us allowed their dogs to bark and run loose. One of the violators is a staff member. Lastly, the office Manager seems to be very organized but needs some "friendly" training. I have never graded a park this low and would never stay here again. - B&S

We stopped here to visit some friends that were staying for a short time as the park is close to their family. Pros: Close to a Winn-Dixie and a huge Flea market, that's it. Cons: The "new" office manager is the most abrasive and condescending person we have ever encountered on our travels. I'm 100% certain that her goal in life is to turn away and discourage anyone from staying here that is not a seasonal customer. The park is mainly seasonal's with a lot of permanent looking 5th wheels and travel trailers with built on decks and tent/storage buildings and "stuff". Older population, have only seen one child in the 10 days we've been here. To add insult to injury, we had our fairly expensive bicycle stolen. A few others in the park suffered thefts, and our neighbor also had their golf cart stolen. No apologies, no updates from management thus far. We would never recommend staying here nor would we ever return. - Eric & Gayle

When we arrived, it was obvious that they had not mowed in several weeks, as the grass was as high as your ankles. Mowed the day we left. - traveling the use

Stopped in to see the "Biggest RV Dealership in the US/World" and to visit Busch Gardens. Amusement park rained out due to tropical storm Carlos, but still had a chance to check out Lazydays. Huge, full service, very friendly folks - except the camping check in gal wasn't so friendly. She almost seemed offended when we asked questions about the campground and facilities. Our site was ok. Not level at all - a bit of a surprise for a RV dealership; I expected better. Activity center with compliemntary pool, ping pong and foosball tables. - GlobeTrotterRV3

Typical Florida park. All grass site except the 10 by the pool/office.
Put us in B-9. Avoid the B section as it is the lowest point in the park and turns into a mud hole if it rains. Some activities. A lot of French Canadians as usual. These parks are owned by Sun Communities and could be a lot better if they started investing some time and money on the basic features. Probably would not come back here. Rate reflects monthly rate for a month. Staff seemed friendly and helpful. A lot of trees. Pine trees are dripping pitch. Again avoid the B section. - wrready2

If you like dark thick mud, come to this park. There plenty everywhere! We stayed here a month. When we were backing into the first site we were assigned, we got stuck in the mud even with our truck in 4 wheel drive. The park had to bring a tractor and shovels to pull us out. The second site was better, but still dirt and mud. There is no grass nor concrete pads. Next, I stepped into one of the several ant hills on our site. This park is depressing. The owners really need to put some money into it. Too many ugly trees and they leak pitch on your vehicles. There are lots of old permanent structures with moss on them. I would never come back. Maybe a couple positive things: nice ladies in the office, WiFi worked 75% of the time, pool was nice, and all utilities worked. - JackieD

Put us on a small site in the middle of a bunch of permanent park models. It had no grass at all. And the picnic table was black from mold. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in several years. - LEE H

I Do Not Recommend this RV park to anyone. First of all it's located in a really sketchy part of Tampa. We were there for 3 months. Our first month, during the daylight hours, we caught 3 local kids stealing one of our bikes, got it back that time, but a week later, they came back and cut the locks off both our bikes and took both of them. These kids continued to come back over and over. Also managing to steal other RVers bikes.
When it first happen, the acting manager said and I quote, "I can't be outside 24/7." Excuse me? Im sorry, but that is the wrong answer to tell your customers who pay quite a bit to stay in your not very attractive RV park. The people who run this place really don't care if anyone steals your stuff. I didn't even get an I'm sorry that happened to you.
This place is not your typical RV park. There are long term residents, its across the street from a family dollar. Its near Busch Gardens and a lot of businesses. Thats about the only thing it has going for it. The bathrooms are ok, however the stall doors are right in your face when you sit down. The laundry room is located in between the bathrooms. 2 out of 4 washers don't work and 2 of 3 dryers do work. There's no pool either. They also charge for electric.
I will never ever stay here again. If you decide to stay, its def going to be at your own risk and don't have any expectations. - Ellie Q

Camp Nebraska is now called Tampa RV Park. There may be new owners/managers from the ones mentioned in older posts - the people we met were friendly and helpful. This is a good option if you want a campground IN Tampa. It is convenient to Bush Gardens, USF, I-275 and Downtown. It is in an area of town that has old businesses (including some strip clubs and tattoo parlors), but the park itself was quiet with not much traffic coming through it. I never felt unsafe there. There ARE some campers that are rented out as residences, and others who are there for the winter, but they have temporary guests as well, including some good size, newer RVs. The park is old, and the sites are fairly narrow - not much outdoor space, especially if you have slide-outs. There are concrete pads but the one on our site wasn't in a convenient place so we didn't use it. The restrooms don't have the best design, but were clean. 2 toilets, 2 showers, one dressing room and sink. The men's room had some plumbing issues, but they were working to correct that. They were having problems with the Wifi, but worked hard to get it working - it was better, but still sporadic. Tampa RV Park is NOT a resort!, but it was a very convenient place to stay, and we would stay there again. - TN Gator

This park was scary. Its in a really old, bad part of town. I wasn't comfortable walking around in the park, and absolutely wasn't comfortable in the neighborhood. The park is the closest to Busch Gardens, but I would rather stay somewhere farther away that is nicer. Most of the residents are full-time permanent, in trailers that are no longer mobile. The park was noisy at night, with some pretty loud late parties, and a fight. The owner is hard of hearing, so this doesn't bother him. I wouldn't stay there again. The lots are level, and of good size. - Becky Jones

They need send us to other hotel. We was so disappointed as we book so early and the driver who send us to another hotel told us now is Indonesia School Holiday so their room was FULL. So it is not the broken incidents as told by the front officer. the dishonest of the hotel staff makes me very upset and I miss out all my schedule that I plan to do nearby Hotel Neo. They should tell me earlier so that I can find other hotel.They spoiled my honeymoon plan, I will not go for Hotel Neo anymore!!

Let Freedom Ring
From "Oops" To On-Air In Five Days
How long does it take to go from gaffe to attack ad? Five days, based on our most recent example.
You'll recall that on Sunday, Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden said, "Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy...Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."
Biden is famous for flubs, and this seems to be his biggest during the general election. Or as the New York Post put it, "JOE D'OH PUTS O IN 'CRISIS' MODE."
So that was Sunday. Already McCain, Palin and conservatives have rubbed it in Obama's face. And now, Let Freedom Ring has launched an ad in battleground states with the audio of Biden's remark. It starts running tomorrow and will eventually be up in Nevada, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania and the pricey Virginia-Washington D.C. market. The ad also features Reagan appointee Frank Gaffney arguing, on something of a tangent, that "weakness invites aggression."
It's guaranteed that Biden didn't look as happy as he does in the ad when he realized the impact of his gaffe. But let's not put all the blame on Biden. Obama gets his own gaffe ad after the jump...
One of Obama's most memorable "oops" moments — in a remarkably similar setting — was when he told a group of supporters at a San Francisco fundraiser last winter that some small town voters "cling to guns or religion" because they are "bitter."
Let Freedom Ring lets Obama relive that moment over and over, with an ad (below) featuring some bitter, small town Pennsylvania voters. Guess what? They're all voting for John McCain.

I would certainly come back
I found everything pretty clean and tidy, except that the glass table top was cracked and I had to rewash a mug which had a dried ring around the bottom, but nothing serious.
I dripped a bit of water on the table from the kettle and it through the crack of the glass. In my effort to dry up the water, the glass cracked even further. This could have been an unpleasant accident. I consider these very minor and felt that the accommodation in all was very adequate.

Might as well have been a night in a haunted house
Upon arrival the lodge we rang on the door for 5 minutes to find no answer but the door unlocked, walking in it looked quite nice and clean and thought maybe the owners we in another room.
Searching around we found no one. Just a number of rooms with keys in the doors. After about half an hour of waiting and my partner starting to get worried I made the decision of just picking a random room and staying in it. The rooms were small but decorative. Slightly old fashioned with outdated shower and sink etc, the bed was comfy and can't really complain about the actual building. In the morning once again nobody was in the building. Quite scary place to be. We went around the lodge expecting to be able to order breakfast but once again you guessed it, nobody there, we finally have up and went to for a walk to a pub called the old inn for breakfast ( I would recommend this place, much friendlier atmosphere). We spent two nights at the lodge and were happy to get going out of the lodge ASAP. Do not recommend unless you like super privacy.

The Lodge August 2015
We had a great time.
The Lodge doesn't serve food, but that was fine as basically we just wanted somewhere to sleep. The housekeeper met us and sorted out the keys etc, but then just left us to it. They are dog friendly, this was a must. We stayed for two nights, I would happily stay there again.

Lodge hotel stay
We had an awful overnight stay.
No communication from hotel so we arrived not having a clue where I room was. No staff at all on site to help. Eventually through a phone call to housekeeper found room. Room didn't supply enough bed linen or pillows. Bathroom was unclean and stank of drains. The door had a huge hole in it. Kitchen was dirty and no hot water at all during our stay.

Scary, haunted empty hotel
We were informed that this hotel was self-service but didn't realise that meant you had to find you way in via a key fob that didn't work so entered via unlocked patio doors.
Very spooky as no one was in the hotel apart from my husband and myself with lots of open doors. No reception or receptionist to greet you. We wondered around the hotel until we found room no 7 with a key in the door. We locked ourselves in but was terrified and had trouble sleeping. The toilet/water system made a terrible growling noise, there was no hot water coming out of sink tap and the bathroom radiator was scalding hot. If they hadn't have already taken our money, we would have left immediately and gone elsewhere. It was a relief to leave 3 days later!

Unusual set-up
Althought we had no complaints whatsoever, it was strange to stay somewhere where we didn't get to see any staff at any point!
Fantastic time at Old Vicarage ( lodge Hotel)
The help and service provided was excellent.
Thank you to Cheryl and Clive for going out of your way to make our stay amazing

Rooms had cobwebs & smelt mouldy, however, the only saving grace is that we had the attic room which gave our own kitchen & lounge area.
Plus our car was damage in the car park & there are no cameras.

Lodge Hotel Malborough
Very quiet as hotel is for sale and just ticking over.
One member of staff on hand to let us in. Very polite and helpful. We were able to use the staff kitchen to prepare our own meals. Like being in a posh Youth Hostel. (Continental breakfasts are offered at an extra cost). Room comfortable and clean. Good shower and v. hot radiator in bathroom. TV reception poor. Pleasant decor and 2 pubs very close by. The Old Inn does excellent dinners.

Goldilocks Visits Malborough
Thought I'd booked a twin for single occupancy but the room had 3 beds.
Someone - a guest - locked me out on Friday night. Luckily the housekeeper lives on site. Stayed here a few years back and it's changed. I think it's on the market and it's being run on a very basic room only basis at present. Another guest set the fire alarm off at 07:15 on Sunday morning.

Ashley Madison Stats Show New Orleans Ranks Among 'Most Adulterous' Cities

New Orleans being in the top 10 doesn't really shock me, but there are a few on this list I would have never thought of.
I know roaches are kind of like our state bird, but come on!
An intoxicated driver drove his vehicle on to a live runway at New Orleans International Airport Thursday afternoon.
This woman is suspected of stealing a Rolex watch, gold jewelry, and a significant amount of cash from a drunken companion during an rendezvous in the New Orleans French Quarter this past weekend.
This alligator got its prey with the help of what appears to be a tour boat guide. Do you think the guide is wrong for this?
Some parking officers made themselves appear productive by ticketing vehicles of on-duty law enforcement officials.
Eye witnesses say they spotted the mother on a nearby bridge crying, and reportedly told someone walking by that her child was "cold."
A Change.org petition has been started to remove Mitch Landrieu as Mayor of New Orleans over his desire to remove historical statues.
Presidential hopefuls and delegates from all 50 states will be in the Crescent City for the convention that begins today.

Henry Adams Cupper
Learn about upgrading this memorial...
Apr. 1, 1845, England
Jan. 7, 1923
Marion County
Oregon, USA
Parents: Henry Adams Cupper from Easton (1817-1885) and Mary (Clarke) Cupper from Worlingworth (1817-1874), 3 sisters: Catherine, Mary Alice, and Hester Cupper; w-Cordelia (Capon) Cupper, mar. 1 Oct 1872, Ipswich, England; 7 children: Harry Charles Adams, Frederick "Fred" William, Cordelia "Ethel", baby girl born 2 Feb 1878, in Ashland, Oregon, and died 26 Feb 1878 in Ashland, Oregon (burial unknown), Nora Alice, Percy Albert, and Morton C. Cupper.
"An Illustrated History of Baker, Grant, Malheur and Harney Counties : with a
brief outline of the early history of the state of Oregon." Chicago?: Western
Historical Pub. Co., 1902. Page 476. Grant County.
It is beyond doubt that some of the most thrifty and industrious
agriculturists of our land are those who migrated hither from the mother land of
the colonies, England. Not least among that worthy class is the gentleman of
whom we now have the pleasure of speaking in presenting an epitome of his
career, which has been fraught with enterprise and activity and dominated by a
sagacity that has settled successfully all of the questions of intricacy that
arise in the stockman's life of varied activities.
Henry A. is the son of Henry A. and Mary (Clark) Cupper, and was born in
the village of Benhall, Suffolk county, England, on April 1, 1845. From the
excellent schools of that land he gained his training and in assisting his
father on the farm he became skilled in the art of agriculture and in handling
stock. His father was a prominent man of the county and was occupied largely
with public duties in addition to managing his estates. At the age of
twenty-four years he commenced the battle of life on his own resources. Soon
thereafter his good judgment prompted him to take a helpmate, which he did on
October 1, 1872, the lady of his choice being Miss Cordelia H., daughter of
Charles and Harriet (Cockerell) Capon. Mrs. Cupper is a native of Framlingham,
Suffolk county, and her father was one of the prominent stockmen of that notel
stock county and was instrumental in producing some of the leading specimens of
the noted Suffolk horses. To Mr. and Mrs. Cupper have been born the following
children: Harry C., deceased; Frederick W., married to Laura Gardner, of Drain,
Douglas county; Ethel C.; Nora A., deceased; an infant deceased; Percy A.;
Norton C.
In 1877 Mr. Cupper disposed of his interests in the home land and
accompanied by his family sought the land of his choice, landing in New York,
whence he came direct to Oregon, arriving in February, of that year. From that
time until July, 1878, he spent in looking the country over and finally bought
the place where he now lives, seven miles northwest from Monument. Here he owns
about three thousand acres of land and large bands of stock, especially sheep.
During his first year on the new place Mr. Cupper was called to demonstrate of
what stuff he was made by the outbreak of the Indians, and it was with credit to
himself that he was found right at the front. He assisted in building a fort in
Monument, and was also captain of the night guards of Heppner. In 1887 he took
his family to visit the old home in England, and while there he bought a trio of
the well known Suffolk horses, which he brought to this country. He had the
misfortune to lose the two stallions, but still owns the mare. Mr. Cupper has
gained an enviable distinction as a successful stockman in the quarter of a
century in which he has wrought in this county, and it is with pleasure that we
are able to state that he is one of the leading men in that industry in all this
region. Politically he is a stanch Republican and has the courage of his
convictions. Fraternally he is affiliated with the A.F. & A.M., at Monument.
Mr. and Mrs. Cupper are prominent members of society and they enjoy the
confidence and esteem of all who may have the pleasure of their acquaintance.

"CUPPER--at the residence, 165 North 13th street, (Marion County, Oregon) Sunday night (Jan. 7, 1923) Henry A. Cupper, age 77 years, husband of Mrs. Cordelia Cupper, father of F. W. (Frederick) Cupper, Morton C. Cupper, Mrs. Ethel Shafer of Monument, Oregon, Percy A. Cupper of Salem and eight grandchildren. Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning, January 10, at 10 o'clock from the Rigdon and Son parlors. Remains will be forwarded to Portland for cremation."

September, a notoriously treacherous month for stocks, began promisingly enough with a 1.4% rally last week. That has encouraged those who see the U.S. stock market poised to climb a proverbial wall of worry. Will it?
Our fall lineup is heavy on drama, what with Middle East skirmishes, uncertain oil prices, and a Beltway fiscal melee that promises to be noisier and more orchestrated than anything on Broadway. But the biggest suspense centers on the future path of U.S. interest rates. Already, the benchmark yield on 10-year Treasuries has jumped in four months from 1.6% to 3% as the Federal Reserve considers scaling back its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying bonanza. So it's a little surprising that the consensus thinks—or hopes—unruly rates will go no higher, for now.
Consider the evidence: Barron's recent survey of Wall Street strategists showed nine out of 10 firms see the 10-year yield finishing 2013 at or below the recent 3% threshold. Traders say we have had four months to contemplate Fed tapering and to pare back vast bond stashes, so September's Fed meeting might well mark a short-term bottom for bonds—and a top for bond yields. Yet home-builder stocks haven't perked up after surrendering a third of their value since May, and the Vanguard REIT VNQ 1.2706758681126082% Vanguard REIT ETF U.S.: NYSE Arca 92.45 1.16 1.2706758681126082% /Date(1469826000060-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2917730 AFTER HOURS 92.62 0.17 0.1838831800973499% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 584845 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 3.305570578691184% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » exchange-traded fund (ticker: VNQ) is slumping near 2013 lows.
There are, of course, reasons to hope rates will behave in the short term. The fall roster of well-flagged risks could fuel bids for Treasuries. Central bankers also won't want spiking mortgage rates to destabilize the foundation of our housing recovery. Rising U.S. rates have already sucked capital from emerging markets, forcing countries from Brazil to Indonesia to hike rates to defend their currencies even as economic growth founders. Still-benign U.S. inflation, and squabbling politicians who can't seem to energize our economy, leave the Fed to single-handedly prop us up a little longer.
Friday's mediocre jobs report, and downward revisions trimming the recent pace of job creation to just 160,000 a month, eased some of the anxiety over stimulus withdrawal. "The Fed could ease the pain of tapering by lowering the unemployment rate threshold," notes William O'Donnell, co-head of Americas strategy at Royal Bank of Scotland. Or reduce monthly bond buying by just $10 billion "as a nod to weakening conditions in emerging markets and weaker-than-expected third-quarter U.S. growth."
Yet rates had surged this summer long before and far more than any improvement in economic cues. Once the Fed let out the notion of reducing bond-buying, it became harder to stuff that genie back into the bottle. While economic momentum is far from strong, the efficacy of more bond buying, and swelling the Fed's balance sheet indefinitely, also remains debatable. Foreign appetite for U.S. debt has shriveled, and over the past 12 months foreign purchases of Treasuries have declined to $104 billion from $503 billion a year earlier, notes Stephanie Pomboy of MacroMavens. Since the Fed began talking about tapering, foreigners have turned net sellers of Treasuries.
Backing off the pledge to buy bonds indefinitely also marks the first step toward normalizing rates, and we're merely at the start of a long road back. "Treasury positioning has been cut from long to neutral, but is not yet short, limiting the potential for a short-covering rally," notes Binky Chadha, Deutsche Bank's chief strategist, who thinks rate volatility might subside only at higher levels near 3.25%.
Meanwhile, U.S. manufacturing and auto sales are revving up, and the service sector grew to its best level since 2005. Bespoke Investment Group tracks the number of economic reports beating projections over the past 50 days, and that tally has improved from -27 in June to 3 midweek, a sign the economy is starting to surpass recently tempered expectations. No surprise, Wall Street increasingly favors stocks over bonds, even as it continues to expect bond selling to stay mild enough to keep rates tame.
IS THERE A MORE BELOVED food stock on Wall Street than Hormel Foods HRL 2.0213056541928434% Hormel Foods Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD37.35 0.74 2.0213056541928434% /Date(1469826309565-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 5661834 AFTER HOURS USD37.348 -0.002 -0.00535475234270415% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 144374 P/E Ratio 25.79241765071473 Market Cap 19790269644.3787 Dividend Yield 1.5528781793842035% Rev. per Employee 443592 More quote details and news » (HRL)? According to Bespoke, it's the S&P 500 component with the biggest increase in buy ratings in 2013, and the maker of Spam meats and Dinty Moore stews has seen shares rally 46% over the past year, trumping 22% for the packaged-food sector. Hormel missed fiscal third-quarter profit targets, but forgiving investors chose instead to fawn over faster overseas growth. Scoff all you want at salty canned meats with a gelatinous glaze, but Spam is an imported American delicacy in countries from Korea to the Philippines.
Spam has such a following in Hawaii that the so-called "Hawaiian steak" is served in burgers and sushi, but you don't have to be Hawaiian to like Hormel. Falling grain costs will boost meat margins. The tightening supply of turkey means pricier birds this Thanksgiving, and better pricing for Hormel's meat products. The well-run company has lifted earnings at an annual pace near 11%, and a debt-free balance sheet allows it to make acquisitions, like buying Skippy from Unilever UNA.AE 0.5888767720828789% Unilever N.V. ADR U.S.: NYSE USD46.12 0.27 0.5888767720828789% /Date(1469826121665-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1400559 AFTER HOURS USD45.825 -0.295 -0.6396357328707719% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 11013 P/E Ratio 24.11125052279381 Market Cap 79083255360 Dividend Yield 3.06244579358196% Rev. per Employee 339832 More quote details and news » (UL).
But how much of that good news is already in the can? As shares surged, its dividend yield has shrunk to 1.6% from 2.8% some years ago. Shares now fetch 22.3 times what Hormel has earned—the richest in 15 years, and above even that for faster-growing stocks like Apple AAPL -0.12459267778416715% Apple Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD104.21 -0.13 -0.12459267778416715% /Date(1469826000272-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 26765342 AFTER HOURS USD104.25 0.04 0.03838403224258708% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 968346 P/E Ratio 12.174065420560748 Market Cap 561529626663.413 Dividend Yield 2.1878898378274636% Rev. per Employee 1990500 More quote details and news » (AAPL) and Google (GOOG). With Wall Street gorging on Hormel, pickier eaters might wish to graze elsewhere.

This paper discusses the development of a real-time digital control system with hardware in the loop (HIL) for modeling and controls education. This environment requires software tools by MathWorks, Inc. and a C++ compiler. The hardware tools include an off-the-shelf data acquisition card and the desired hardware to be controlled. The use of a single environment for dynamic system analysis, control law development, simulation evaluation, and final implementation on an HIL system has many educational advantages as compared to multienvironment settings. This host-target real-time environment is implemented and demonstrated by controlling a nonlinear, open-loop unstable, and time varying custom-built magnetic levitation device. The values of any parameter (control law, reference trajectory) in the Simulink model can be changed dynamically on the host computer without recompiling the control code, and their effects are observed in real-time on the HIL system. This environment allows for extensive experimentation, development of linear and nonlinear controllers, and performance comparison with HIL as shown in the presented examples. The educational features of this environment are presented throughout the paper and were verified in a class setting.

Wake-Up Call: Little spouse on the prairie
Always quick with a quip, Pat Schroeder was one of the most quotable members of Congress during her 24-year tenure in the House. Turns out her husband, James Schroeder, also had plenty to say, as he proves in his new memoir, Confessions of a Political Spouse.
"When all of a sudden your wife becomes a more prominent player than you, you have to make some adjustments," Jim told the Missoulian this week, when the Schroeders traveled to Montana to visit former Congressmen Pat Williams and his wife, Carol, now in the Montana Legislature. "But I always thought if your wife is moving up and doing wonderful things, why not be supportive of that? To me, that's always been a no-brainer."
And Jim, like Pat a graduate of Harvard Law School, clearly has brains to spare.
While Schroeder was in Congress, he formed the Dennis Thatcher Society, named after the husband of Margaret Thatcher, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. "To be in it, your wife had to have a more prominent job than you, and you had to be able to sign your wife's name to a bill," Jim explains. "Our motto was, 'Yes, Dear.'"
Other prominent members: Martin Ginsberg and John O'Connor, husbands of Supreme Court justices. But it was the time Jim spent with other congressional spouses that proved particularly valuable. "He also got much better gossip than I did," Pat Schroeder says.
Jim Schroeder will be signing his book at the Tattered Cover on September 30.
